Love Lesson

 Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I confirm that, and know first hand that this saying is so true! This last month has been brutal, and by now I'm about as Fond for him as it can GET.... and am at this point ready for him to GET his behind HOME! Especially when  Valentines Day rolled around! Spending Valentines Day without my honey was the Pitts!!  I miss Jess so much I can hardly stand it! Coming home every other weekend is beginning to get the best of me! Poo on Working out of Town! It stinks, and if I sound sour, or cranky, I'm sorry BUT I AM! There is no denying it... I am Bitter,  and Sleep Deprived, and worn Ragged!

On a Brighter Note ( I'll stop being Debbie Downer) I did have these Adorable little Muffins as Valentines Dates, and Jess was stuck in a Hotel Room in Nevada ALONE  ((SO HE SAYS)) hahahah kidding! Drew wanted to go out to Pizza, so we did, even though I dislike pizza  :)

Drew's School always throws the most marvelous little Shin Digs for every holiday! Here were his Valentine Cards he passed out to the kiddies in his class! Aren't they the cutest?

The King of Hearts... so he tells me

My little Cuddle Bug

As precious as they are, I'm awful stingy and wanted just one more handsome Johnson boy in the mix yesterday! We can't even have a Late V-Day Date this weekend when he comes home, because we will have company before he even arrives! My mothers birthday is this weekend and I'm busy planning a special something for her!  Good thing Jess loves my mother as much as I do, and our weekend will be all about HER! 

Me & My Love

Training Boys

  I've been Capturing little Steps for both  Drew & Trent as they are becoming big boys right before my eyes!

Drew has learned to ride his bike with NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

Drew had been talking about having his training wheels taken off for about a week while Jess was gone so when he came home, Daddy did just that! While at Wes' party this last weekend Drew took off like a bullet!! He did Perfect, with a little help and guidance from Jess & the big boys at his little cousins party!

HE was so pumped he needed to go on the bike trail at the park the next day... So Sunday after Church and before the Football Game we snuck in some Park time! He is Proud as Punch, I can't believe how big he is getting!  

And Speaking of BIG look who is POTTY TRAINING!!!!

Little Trentie Poo... emphasis on the Poo ;)

He tares off his diaper every time he needs to go potty and sometimes (ALL THE TIME) doesn't quite make it! That's his doing on the entire nakedness too! YUCK!

AS you can see here I really need to be training Trent to have better manners! He's so into telling EVERYONE NO!  Please pardon my voice!

Just In...

 for the weekend, and now he's gone again!

Jess' work has had him away, and we hate it! This last stent was for two miserable weeks... It was the longest we have EVER been away from one another since we started dating! It's been extremely rough on the little guys! But we got him for a couple of days this weekend, and we filled it with fun! He was exhausted, but there is no time for rest on on the weekends around this household.... WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE GO! Plus I had a honey Do list a mile long, full of two weeks worth of Manly Must Do around this place! Poor Jess!

So fun we had with him while he was home!

Fun on the Farm...

Our Little nephew Wes Turned Two, and his John Deere Tractor Party was extremely fitting for the lil farmer!



We packed in as much family fun as possible, EVEN though it was Super Bowl Sunday Jess devoted his day to us! We watched the game at home, and had no company or didn't attend a party... Jess' lamest Super Bowl Sunday of his life, I'm Sure! The weather was Dreamy here in California, and it was just what he needed! It's been -12 (that's tight... 12 BELOW) in Nevada where he is working! POOR POOR Jess!

Missin'

                                                                          MY MAN!!

{Now first off that was for cute flowing purposes... I NEVER refer to my husband as my MAN! I'm really not one for nicknames.. or slang words... Just to clear that up!}

My Hunky Husbands has been away all week working out of Town & you can just say this house is FULL OF CRY BABY'S.... ME INCLUDED!!!   We have NEVER had him away for this amount of time, since the children came along... and I AM O-V-E-R it! I miss him so much it hurts!

Call me Ridiculous, call me a baby, call me what you want...

BUT ALL I CARE ABOUT is getting a  CALL or two each day from my Jess!

He will come home for the weekend, so I'm dreaming up what yummy homey kind of goodness I will feed him! And  fabulous wifely duties I can spoil him with while he is here for the day and a half! Also on my to do list is to crate yet another WEEKS worth of scrumptious meals to send him away with.... meals that will have the other men he is with envy him!   ANY ONE HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR ME?

I've never had to come up with travelable (not sure that's a word) TO GO MENUS...  at least not a WEEKS worth! And he is used to GOOD EATIN'.....  He's a country boy... and is WELL FED! And I'm a frugle girl... SO instead of eating out... he is sent with Supper!!

                                                    Ohhh I miss him... and so do the boys!
                                        Bed time is a bummer, with cry sessions for Daddy!!

                            In case you don't know MY HARD WORKIN' HUNK! Here he is


Our most recent photo... on New Years!





Looking Pretty handsome in Pink.. Don't ya think?



 At work... BUT this is here in Sunny CA!
Right now he's freezing his handsome little Buns off in the dreadful NV Snow!
 Poor Guy!



I will admit that the VERY things he does daily that DRIVE ME CRAZY... I'm beginning to miss! I just hope he doesn't hear of this!!

I haven't had to clean the trimmings of his facial hair out of the sink... nor remind him to not lay a wet towel on the bed... ALWAYS on my side mind you! Pick up the soap off the floor of the shower (DISGUSTING)!! Or ask him to CHEW on what ever piece of plastic he's munching on at the time A LITTLE QUIETER!!

Those are a few of Jess' little habits, that I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BACK!!!



Sorry to bore you with my misery...

But this Mrs. is sure missing her Mr.

Twice as Nice

                                                         Another Little Girl for the Horns!

Thursday Evening one of my dearest fiends Rachel had a special little gathering of closest friends and family!! It was a gender reveling party and it was a blast!  It's a GIRL... and there was no doubt about it as you walked into their  home with pink party decor Galore! The Horn's already have sweet little Audrey who is 2 and are excited to welcome another baby girl to their Family!  I particularly love it that she will have 2 girls to go along with my 2 boys giving me just the perfect amount of GIRL FIX.  I can't wine enough about how unfair the options of little girl stuff is vs. little boys stuff! It is utterly fabulous shopping for little girl!  Being a mother of two boys, I rarely get to experience the fabulousness of browsing the baby girl department... the cuteness is unreal!

                               A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HORNS!

Angela, Rachel (both expecting) and myself

So expect a Spring announcement of this little baby girls arrival!! I can't wait!

Cover Boy

My Little Cover boy, Lover Boy!!

He is just the sweetest little guy in the world! I couldn't be more fascinated with him! He is definitely something else... the most Stylish, confident, handsome, smart, lovable little guy out there! He said this morning... "why did they choose that one, you can't see all of me & what about that great tie I was wearing"... Gosh Darn them for choosing not his favorite image!! Hahah!!!

I LOVE this, and I love that we were given the opportunity to have him be on this little magazine! And for another plug on my little Trew Luv... I tell ya somehow things just keep getting better & better for TL! This Valentiens Band is available here!

Shoot

My little Ham Drew was asked to be on the cover of the February issue of a local Magazine! He was pretty excited about being a little model, and felt pretty special when we arrived to the shoot, and was welcomed by a photography staff with huge lights and props, wardrobe changes, and a few treats to be rewarded if he did good! He did a Great Job... well his mama sure things he did!! I have not yet seen the issue but the Photographer {Moments to Remember} was kind enough to share a couple of the Raw Images with me!! Can't wait to see the real deal!

Here is Drew and his fellow adorable model Hallie Prather... Isn't it funny they are modeling together... Drew's middle name is Prather (It's a family name on my side). They are a darling little pair :) And to top it off that's a Trew Luv flower in her hair... this will be the second time on a magazine Cover for Trew Luv!! PRETTY Exciting stuff I must say!
